New Construction Inspection in Patterson
New Construction Inspection in Patterson, Madison County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Patterson is a Middle River town laid out in 1872 whose name was misspelled on the plat, and which has grown in recent years, and we calibrate every visit to that.
A new construction inspection gives a newly built home an independent review before your final walkthrough — because builders miss things, and an outside set of eyes catches them while the fix is still the builder's responsibility.

Patterson housing runs to houses from the 1872 townsite and early 1900s, plus a notable share of newer homes since the population grew about 35 percent between 2010 and 2020, across the original townsite along the Middle River, the area around the Elton Tommy Faux Memorial Park, and the newer streets and acreages on the edges, on loess-mantled hills of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain along the Middle River — and that mix shapes what a new construction inspection here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.
Local conditions in Patterson
No Iowa law requires a home inspection before a sale — the one mandatory time-of-transfer inspection covers private septic systems (Iowa Code 455B.172) — which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on a Patterson home. Patterson sits in Madison County, and every Iowa county is EPA Radon Zone 1. Iowa HHS reports Iowa has the largest percentage of homes above the 4.0 pCi/L action level of any state — 71.6 percent in the Iowa Radon Survey — and the Iowa seller disclosure form asks for any known radon test results. Finished basements concentrate it, and only a 48-hour test gives you this home's number. Iowa leaves frost depth to the local building code rather than one statewide number, and the annual freeze-thaw cycle drives the settlement cracks and ice-dam wear we calibrate every Patterson visit to find.
